NPC Crew Profiles

Maelstrom
The navigator of Todd's downed cruiser, and the one that is most likely to violate the Evil Overlord List. Having known nothing else but the absolute domination over humanity, he is haughty and arrogant, and has a very low opinion of non-Wraith. For that matter, he has a very low opinion of most other Wraith.

He largely puts up with Todd's eccentric leadership because it's proven to be effective, but he would much rather have a more traditional leader. Given the opportunity, he's more likely to betray Todd than the others.

He has a black tattoo on the left side of his face and neck, shaped like a stylized Iratus carapace and tail.

Starstroke
A Keeper, one who maintains the organic Wraith technology. He is not an exceptionally gifted scientist, but he knows enough about Wraith technology to keep it running smoothly. He's keenly aware that he's not the most talented Keeper, but he makes no effort to hide that. He does, however, make an effort to be a dependable Keeper - even without much talent, his loyalty has value.

While not nearly as high-strung and dramatic as his comrades, Starstroke is still aggressive toward humans and other non-Wraith sentients. Todd is able to make him stand down, though, so he's unlikely to attack unless provoked... or hungry.

Shadowfury
At only two hibernation cycles old (or about 350-400 years), Shadowfury is the youngest member of Todd's crew. He's Starstroke's immediate subordinate, and an apprentice Keeper. He has a certain amount of talent for manipulating Wraith technology, but his personality overwhelms whatever good that comes of that talent.

Hotheaded and contentious, he seeks to carve out a bigger place for himself, but has comparatively little experience to draw on. Of the three, he's most likely to use the tried-and-true method of Wraith promotion - a knife to his superior's back.

He has a pair of tear-line tattoos under his eyes. While this was ostensibly done because he thought it looked cool, it also keeps him from having to squint in bright light.
